Could be a matter of luck or which one is more successful in imposing their gameplan on the other. Or maybe Lyoto will keep Randy in the centre of the cage at a jump-in jump-out striking distance by the smell of urine on his breath.

Couture will certainly counter with the old man smell of moth balls, Bengay, and steaming regrets.

Aww hell no. You two can get the **** out of here.

If Machida loses this one (a likely outcome), his confidence will plummet so hard!

That elusive style is a dream match-up for Couture's grapple thingy. I'm giving the upper hand to Couture here.
On the other hand, maybe Machida has gotten frustrated and angry from all that pathetic losing he's been doing lately. And will have a more aggressive style from now on. Then I'd give it to Machida.

Today, I'll take Machida by TKO. Five years ago? Randy by convincing decision.

Agreed. Randy's a great fighter and a legend. And is practically ageless, and is to be commended for fighting 10 years older than anyone else in the game possibly could. But even the eternal one is finally showing signs of slowing down. He can still win fights, but he's no longer the indomitable force he once was.

There is no way Machida loses this one, in my opinion. Couture doesn't have a ton of punching power so Machida can feel free to be more aggressive standing than he could against Rampage. I think this plays out like Machida-Evans, unless Machida is seriously damaged mentally from his last 2 fights.
